What equipment can transform metal into different shapes?

Forming machine is a very important, even indispensable type of equipment in the metal processing industry. How can this kind of equipment change the shape of metal? Simply put, its working principle is to apply external forces of varying degrees to change the shape, size, and dimensions of metal raw materials, ultimately turning them into semi-finished products or components that meet people's needs. In the metal processing industry, there are many ways to change the appearance of a piece of metal, such as cutting and welding. However, these methods have an obvious drawback: they will damage the integrity of the metal raw materials, and sometimes fail to achieve the desired results. The emergence of forming machine has well solved this problem, enabling the transformation of metal raw materials with a single form into complex and diverse forms.

Forming machine also has prominent technical characteristics, which is a major reason why they can become important equipment in the metal processing industry. First of all, it has extremely high processing precision and stability. The high-precision processing capability of metal forming machine mainly benefits from the collaborative effect of three core technologies: servo control, intelligent compensation, and precision molds, which can achieve stable error control at the 0.01mm level. The precise control system can accurately control the magnitude, application position, and movement trajectory of external forces during the processing process, resulting in workpieces with small dimensional errors and regular shapes. Moreover, in mass production, stable processing quality can be maintained.

The "Equipment Exhibition Hall", an equipment trading service platform built by SUMEC International Technology Co., Ltd., houses metal processing equipment from multiple countries, including many high-quality forming machines available for users to choose from. For example, the precision axial spline forming machine from Germany's Felss Group on display. This equipment is equipped with an automatic mold changing system, can handle large workpieces up to 700mm in length, and features new spline forming technology, which can simultaneously meet the multi-faceted requirements of quality, processing cycle, and stability.

Another technical characteristic of forming machine is their wide adaptability and strong compatibility, which allows them to be applied to various materials and different process scenarios. As we all know, there are many types of metal materials. In the manufacturing industry, with the continuous increase in people's needs, more and more metal materials are being used, such as copper, aluminum, and steel that we usually see. They come in different shapes, and processing them into qualified workpieces cannot be separated from precision equipment. Taking non-ferrous metals such as copper and aluminum as an example, due to their good ductility and plasticity, they are commonly used raw materials for finished products. According to the user's needs, forming machine can easily complete forming processes such as stamping, stretching, and bending by adjusting equipment parameters such as pressure, speed, and temperature. Under precise control, the material itself will not crack or deform. For instance, in the aerospace manufacturing field, the processing requirements for aerospace components are very high. Through the precise control of processing parameters by forming machine, components that meet strict requirements can be produced. For steel materials with higher hardness and strength, forming machine can also complete customized processing. However, this requires the processing equipment itself to have higher rigidity and precision. For example, in the automobile manufacturing industry, the main material of the car body structure is steel. Therefore, forming machine is widely used in the manufacturing process. Through precise stamping and bending processes, car body components with accurate dimensions and standard strength can be produced.

In terms of typical models, CNC bending machines, servo presses, high-precision press-fitting machines, fully automatic pipe bending machines and other equipment are widely used in aerospace, automobile manufacturing (to ensure component consistency) and medical customization fields.
